Terms and Conditions

To reserve a place in a workshop, the signed and completed enrolment form must be submitted along with the first installment of tuition fee, the remaining to be paid on an equal monthly basis.

Workshops will be confirmed by phone or email at least one week before the first class. Elephant Community Press reserves the right to cancel any workshop prior to confirmation.

Fees must be paid by cash or cheque on or before the first class of each month.

Late payments will be subject to a $50 charge.

When a requested class is full, students will be placed on a waitlist. Priority is given to existing students.

From our experience, some students in our group publishing classes need the extra guidance of a one-on-one session at our centre, dedicated to revising with their teacher. Parents will be notified if such a session is recommended by the teacher. Extra sessions are $300/hour.

MAKE-UP CLASSES AND REFUNDS

Any workshops cancelled by Elephant Community Press will be fully refunded.

If a student decides to withdraw from a workshop after enrolment, 30 days’ written notice is required for withdrawal from a workshop or payment of that month’s fees in lieu of notice.

Make-up classes cannot be arranged for holiday workshops or for workshops held at school partners.

Since class dates are set at the beginning of each term, onlytwo absences per term are eligible for make-up classes with written notice at least one day in advance.

Missed make-up classes cannot be rescheduled.

If our available dates for make-up lessons do not match your child’s availability, we cannot guarantee a replacement class. Space available is on a first-come, first-served basis.

No classes are held on public holidays.

Morning classes will be cancelled if typhoon number 8 or black rain signals are in place at 8:00am and afternoon classes will be cancelled if the typhoon number 8 or black rain signals are in place at 12:00noon.

Testimonials

Thank you for your email and detailed feedback. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the class and has benefited a great deal. I would like to thank you especially for the report which shared in depth both her achievements and nature.

Elephant Community Press is an amazing organization with innovative ideas for encouraging young writers. Having her work published helped build my child’s sense of self-worth and having the proceeds of the books go to charity taught her about how her work can make a difference. My daughter has built her self-confidence and deepened her love for writing. This is hands down her favorite extracurricular activity — and as a side note, it has helped her enormously in school too!- Rosa Joshi, Parent

Thanks for your patience and professional coaching. My daughter loves it so much!

As always, Elephant Community Press offers interesting programs for kids of different learning ages. We surely keep that in mind when we re-organize our time table.

Thanks for the writing report and your effort to make a "boring" writing class interesting. Your encouraging feedback will definitely energize my daughter to go further.

My daughter really enjoyed the class and said that you gave her lots of useful tips! Thank you.

I cannot wait to read our book! Thanks for your time to teach and help me. I really learned lots from you! - Student, aged 12

Thanks very much once again for the wonderful program you have conducted in the school. The kids have enjoyed it thoroughly and of course learnt a lot. I can clearly see that my daughter has benefited from all the guidance and encouragement you have provided. There was a lot of personal attention given to each child, which is truly mazing given that these were group sessions.- Deepika Deshpande, Parent

I think my son has improved a lot since he started the writing class. He now finds it easier to put his ideas into writing. Thanks very much. I am sure with your help, his writing technique will improve as well.

During the last couple years, Jocelyn gained a lot from your teaching and guidance and we can see improvement in her overall English presentation and writing. She will be moving to an undergraduate programme in the UK in Sept, which is a new milestone in her life. I have to express my sincere thanks to you.- Susan Siu, Parent

This Fall, my daughter would like to sharpen her writing skills. I think ECP has inspired her to write better. Thanks for all of your effort.

Thanks for sending us the report. I can see my son has built up his interest in writing. He even writes small stories on his little iPod when we travel!

I liked making the school magazine because it’s a great honour and I was very proud when I received it. Also, others could have a copy of the magazine too! I think the magazine is a good chance for us to show our writing and it’s a keepsake for us.- Karen, aged 11

My son asked if he can come back again! It is good to see that my son loves writing and I am happy to see that he has started to write more!

Thank you so much for providing this wonderful opportunity to my children and many other children in Hong Kong. I really appreciate your efforts.

I LOVE this writing class. It’s my favourite thing to do each week!!!- Ella, aged 9

Our daughter has enjoyed reading and writing very much since early childhood. She’s always dreamed of becoming an author having her own book to share with family, relatives and friends. I’ve seen an obvious improvement in her work in the last few months. My wife and I thank you so much for your fruitful advice during and after the workshop.- Parent
